county, last night. police say three tractor-trailers were involved and all of them caught fire. the crash happened at 9:00 last night and there are still delays on the highway, more than nine hours later. karen rogers is here with more on that. karen. >> that's right, matt, with chopper 6 over the scene right now as we look live at this, you can see that they're still working out there. they've been working through the night cleaning up this mess involving three tractor-trailers on fire. what you're looking at with that blocked traffic right there, that's the outer roadway of the new jersey turnpike northbound but we see the inner roadway is moving. this is where the turnpike splits off and the outer lanes are more for trucks and the inner is more for the cars. chopper if you pan back you can kind of get a look at the number of people out there at this hour and we can see traffic is moving but certainly moving slower than it would be at this hour on the new jersey turnpike northbound. we've got a good 23-mile stretch with lane restrictions on the turnpike. this is northbound between exit six and exit 8a.

as we look at this the accident itself happened in middlesex county and most of the closure here is in mercer county, new jersey, so as you're traveling up between mercer and middlesex, you're dealing with these restrictions here. one thing you could do is take 130 or route 9 instead because they're still out there working on this right now. let's go to mass transit. we've got more issues with mass transit now. new jersey transit, the ac rail line suspended between center city and cherry hill. this is because of switching problems in the area so you need to watch for that as you're headed out. also the manayunk norristown line getting 15 minute delays here still happening because of wire problems out there. so, a few issues with mass transit. i just want to go outside live because another problem is right on the schuylkill expressway. this is past the blue route eastbound traffic right here an accident involving a tanker truck eastbound jammed at this point from approaching to past the blue route with that accident, tam. >> thank you karen. and as david was talking about, we're dealing with some near-record-low temperatures today. if you just throw on a robe to let the dog out usually trust me, today you're going to want to put on the coat. the action cam is live at the

allegations but it appears some of her allegations have been met with some skepticism. in a cnn interview last night kane did not hold back calling the pornographic e-mail images "deplorable, hard core, graphic and at times violent. she went on to say that many of the images depicted children and elderly women and also involved violent sexual acts against women. one of kane's lawyers in the case, though, said he had not seen all of the e-mails involved and was not clear as to what kane was referring to but addd that two images of the children he saw were inappropriate but not necessarily pornographic. last week kane said four of her employees had been fired and 11 suspended without pay for involvement in the pornographic e-mail scandal. last month, justice seamus mccaffrey retired after his fellow justices suspended him when it was disclosed he had sent or received 234 of those e-mails. kane previously said the e-mails surfaced during an examination of how state

prosecutors handled the jerry sandusky case but claims now a court order is preventing her from doing her job. >> i am being stopped from performing my duties as attorney general. my office is being stopped from certain investigations. and we are being stopped even from telling why. >> now a spokesperson for the corbett administration which also reviewed some of the e-mails said it was unaware that the e-mails contained pictures of children. tam, back to you. >> okay, thank you, erin. this is new this morning, yet another woman has come forward to accuse comedian bill cosby of rape. model and tv host janice dickinson said the assault happened in 1982 in lake tahoe, california, where cosby was performing. she says she wrote about the incident in her 2002 autobiography but that cosby and his lawyers pressured her and the publisher to take out the details. dickinson is the third woman in so many days to talk about her claims against cosby. he's not facing any criminal charges but there does now seem to be some corporate
